Typically you'll find the 165/168 grain is the most accurate 30 caliber bullet. That being said, every gun has a preference and I've known a few that just shoot better with a 150 grain. Personally I only shoot the 165s in my 308 rifles.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

i got a box of 150 grain corelocks to get my scope sighted in and bought a box of hornady something eldx i think but cant remember. The hornadys shot terrible so i ended up just hunting with the corelocks i had. Shot a decent 6 pointer that year that didnt go but 30 yards. Then walmart had a sale on the corlocks for like $12 something a box. So i stocked up. I dont shoot over a 150 yards so i figured it didnt matter to much.

My .308 prefers 150 grain Hornady SST's. Tried both 165s and the 168s in different bullet types but they do not group as well as the 150s. Like I said that is out of my gun, and as someone else already said, every gun has a preference. What gun do you shoot and do you know the twist?
